Description

This volume presents an up-to-date perspective on international registration and testing requirements for pesticides. It emphasizes efforts to develop a consensus on technical, laboratory, and regulatory requirements that will promote international trade. It includes a valuable comparison of accreditation programs and regulatory monitoring for laboratory compliance. The essays are divided into six areas: the impact of international trade agreements on health and environmental testing and registration; comparisons of ISO laboratory accreditation programs with OECD, GLP, and national GLP programs; the U.S. EPA FIFRA GLP program and proposed impact of the U.S. National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program; the Food Quality Protection Act; National testing and registration standards for the U.S., Canada, Mexico, India, Australia, Japan, Central and South America, and Europev; and computer validation methods.

Reviews and Awards

"[Proceedings of a] symposium, which was called to raise the level of understanding about the different national registration procedures now current, to discuss the international pesticide product registration process, and to provide a forum to synchronize technical and regulatory requirement for producing universal data quality standards. Contributors from government and industry in many countries offer 34 papers on such topics as international harmonization through ISO, good laboratory practice regulations of the US Environmental Protection Agency, an industry perspective on the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, the environmental assessment of pesticides in Brazil, and good laboratory practices and pesticide regulation in Japan. The subject index is very detailed."--SciTech Book News
